SCCF has come to embody the spirit of the movement, realising that success on no small amount of 12 CORPORATEdepends VISION / Issue 2 2019 innovation and a commitment to serving the best interest of their clients. In a move that seems befitting for the firm, SCCF have recently moved to utilise cutting edge technology to further distinguish themselves in what is, by all considerations, a notoriously competitive sphere. In his closing comments, Dimitri discusses SCCF’s imminent future, which aims to double down on their future-centric, innovation-first ethos. “We have launched our blockchain application to constantly follow up all the goods we finance, alongside issuing all the supporting documents related to our financing. We are therefore not only offering our blockchain platform to third party logistic companies worldwide, but also to commodity merchants and
wholesales companies to raise financing from SCCF ” Drawing on more than 15 years’ experience, today SCCF offers a one-stop-shop for the trade commodities and trade finances industries, bridging the gap between borrowers and lenders by arranging tailor-made financing for their clients, as Dimitri explains in more detail. “SCCF specialise in sourcing short term financing for companies active in the trading, production, processing, tolling, transportation and distribution of essential commodities throughout the world. We focus primarily on small and mid-size corporates, mostly based in Switzerland and Europe, and recently also in Asia, and seek to build longstanding and mutually beneficial relationships with our stakeholders, making ethical conduct central to our organisation.” Naturally, as an authority working in the financial industries, SCCF ensure that corporate governance remains a key aspect of the firm and its ongoing operations. In a sector that is only becoming ever-more regulated, SCCF aim to differentiate themselves through a commitment to proactivity and accreditation. In recent years they have implemented
robust and secure Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering processes, and are regulated by the Swiss AMLA authority, O-ARG – which in turn, is regulated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority. Clients can rest assured that SCCF’s expertise is unquestionable. However, as Dimitri moves on discuss, SCCF has flourished on the back of the team at its core, who truly embody the firm’s impressive work ethic and have worked hard to drive its success over the last fifteen years. “The firm’s success has pivoted on the back of our specialised staff – young and senior dedicated professional, most with a background in trade finance banks or commodity trading firms. We are a very homogenous group consisting of a 50/50 gender split.”

Leading the Way Franka Emika’s vision is to make robots a centre of the robot design. Recently, we profiled the firm to discover more about how
Even today, robotics remains a technology that is accessible only to few. The reasons behind this is that there are high costs, difficult programming and the separation of humans and robots by safety fences. Which leads to ask the question, how can this technology be made accessible to the general population? The answer – Franka Emika. A young, high-tech company from Munich, who have a strong passion in wanting to solve this problem. For the talented team at Franka Emika, the ideal robot of the future for them is a tool which can be used by anybody, and one which supports humans in carrying out unpleasant or even dangerous tasks. Panda is the first system of an entirely new generation of tools, which incorporates a novel high-resolution, whole-body sense of touch to accomplish most delicate tasks accurately. The system can be operated via Apps similar to a smartphone, but can also be taught new tasks within a few minutes, without

requiring any programming skills. At the same time, the system is sensitive to such an extent, that it can take over assembling, testing or inspection tasks. The online platform, Franka World is the centre of the ecosystem, where the community will be able to exchange ideas. Alongside this, developers will get assigned to customers, which will allow them to introduce new solutions and applications on a more personal level.

In addition to this, the quality system was developed based on the globally leading German robot technology, and is now being produced in series in Bavaria, Germany. Looking ahead to what the future holds for the firm, the team at Franka Emika will continue to deliver their exceptional services. As for Simon Haddadin, he will continue to lead his team to great heights, especially following his recent success in Corporate Vision’s Corporate Excellence Awards 2018 in which he was righteously awarded the accolade Most Influential CEO of the Year 2018 Robotics and Technology.
